Vegetable planting and protection work
After planting, a 7.6 cm long cardboard tube is placed around the seedlings. Push the cardboard tube down half the way to the ground so that you can stop the caterpillar's underground attack. Once the seedlings have grown into plants, the cardboard rings can be removed.
First When planting vegetables, you can tear off the top and bottom of the peat pot. Peat pots rot when buried in the soil, so don't destroy it in the first year of planting, which will most likely cause the roots of the plant to wrap in. To make matters worse, if the edges of peat are exposed to the soil surface, it dries out and takes water from the surrounding soil and plant roots. However, if you tear off the top and bottom of the peat pot before planting, you can easily solve this problem. This helps prevent the plant roots from becoming dry and allows the roots of the plant to be freed from bondage in the presence of peat pots.
Second, vertical planting saves space. Instead of letting the vines of beans, cucumbers, watermelons, and pumpkins climb up along trellises or trellises, you can let them spread on the ground. Increase the height of the vegetable garden with a teepee tent crawling with beans and pea vines. This space-saving device works on the same principle as the trellis, but looks different. A 6 to 8 1.8-metre-high bamboo poles are used to set up a pyramid tent and then tie these poles to the top. You can grow beans, lima beans or peas around each bamboo pole, which will slowly grow around the top of the pole.
Third, vegetable garden fertilizers are used to apply side fertilizers to some long-season crops such as infinite-growth tomatoes, eggplant and peppers to produce fruit. After the first harvest, sprinkle some fertilizer particles along the perimeter of the plant, then gently bury them in the soil and finally water the right amount. This increased nutrients promote new flowers and then fruit.
Fourth, spread the straw-covered newspaper between the rows of the plants to remove weeds and retain moisture. Putting them together and working together is much more effective than using them alone. At the end of the growing season, newspapers and straw are rolled into the soil with a rotary tiller and allowed to rot.
Fifth, grow watermelons and cucumbers in the compost heap. In the fall, the ripe fruit is tossed into the compost pile, and the seeds can grow anywhere. Warm, moist and nutrient-dense compost seems to go a long way toward growing the best watermelon and cucumber vines.
Sixth, using a warm straw overlay can extend the autumn harvest time for crops such as cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Although it may never become a fashion trend, straw can indeed be effective in keeping warm.
Place bundles or piles of straw around the plant, leaving the south-facing side for warm sunlight. This way, these naturally frost-tolerant plants can stay in good shape in late autumn or even in the warmer climates of winter.
